+Ashley Moore I’m not saying that he should have had a romantic arc but if he didn’t have one and was not otherwise explicitly queer coded then announcing he’s gay several years later does no service to queer readers

The way Dumbledore asked Harry if he put his name in the Goblet was never that big of a deal compared to the rest of the problems that is the awfulness of the Goblet of Fire movie . First it immediately shows Barty Crouch Jr. in the first scene of the movie completely ruining the twist. They cut out all of the house elf stuff and most of Rita Skeeter’s stuff leaving Hermione with no story line for the rest of the series that doesn’t revolve around the boys (plus cutting the elves out and showing Crouch Jr with Voldemort in the beginning makes the World Cup completely pointless outside of introducing Krum). The people running the tournament just allow a dragon to get loose and chase a champion around Hogwarts, in the book they literally had dragon tamers present for exactly that possibility. They took everything exciting out of the third task and replaced it with killer hedges which is just incredibly lame. They rushed through the climax and all of the reveals giving no time to follow what’s happening. Of all the books this should have been the one to get two movies, they cut almost everything leaving in the absolute minimum. I’m sorry but that movie was one of the all time worst film adaptations I have ever seen.
